We’ve all heard of the great cities of the world like New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. In line with that, I’d like to add another three to the list. Though these cities may not be as high-profile or as cosmopolitan as the aforementioned, they have enough character to be some of the most interesting places on Earth.
Venice: While many cities in the world use canals instead of streets as their main thoroughfares, no other city has the mix of history, class, and romance of Venice. This is definitely one of my top three Italian cities, alongside Turin and Florence.

Cape Town: This South African port city is amazing. It’s picturesque. It’s historical. And it’s home to some of the greatest sporting events in the world. From huge cycling tours to world-renowned yacht races, Cape Town has been a venue for the best in sporting competition.

Kyoto: While Tokyo and Osaka can lay claim to being the consummate Japanese cities of the future, the former capital, Kyoto, is where the heart of the country truly lies. The richness of Japanese history and culture can be seen in this city nicknamed Old Japan. And when one traverses its streets, one can feel the spirit of Japan everywhere.
